King George cuts out the cash with baby scan kiosk
At King George Hospital are healthcare assistant, antenatal clinic, Frank Garcia, deputy resource manager radiology Karim Conteh, lead sonographer Karen Hibbert, healthcare assistant, antenatal clinic, Fatima Azam, midwife sonographer Pam Watkinson, sonographer Taiwo Seriki and radiology resource manager Michael Cotter.
King George Hospital, part of the Barking, Havering and Redbridge NHS Trust, is reported to be the first UK hospital to install the EasyPay Kiosk payment machine for obstetric scans. Patients in the maternity ultrasound department can buy copies of their 12 and 20-week obstetric scans at the self-service payment machine.
Radiology resource manager Michael Cotter said: “The EasyPay Kiosk has been a very useful addition to the obstetric department as it saves time and resources for staff. In the past, transactions have been completed by staff members, so this allows our staff to concentrate on their roles and eliminates the handling of cash.”
